that's outdated info given my latest figures... with my naive=20
optimization mentioned earlier, on my 1Ghz G4 eMac

	=ABAlpha8.0b12=BB time {help::mimicHelpMenu "Tcl 8.4 =
Commands.txt"}
	15388525 microseconds per iteration

	=ABAlphatk8.3b4=BB time {help::mimicHelpMenu "Tcl 8.4 =
Commands.txt"}
	21132977 microseconds per iteration

so AlphaX is already 1.4 times faster with the simplest optimization &=20=

we should be able to improve on this significantly


Cheers,

Daniel
